easy way to do calculate points

[Guest guest]

Last week someone shared a way to calculate points without a calculator, and

I wanted to share my method, as someone may find it easier to remember. I,

for one, have not used the cardboard calculator for 2 years, since I learned

this formula. I'm sure it's the same formula as the one given last week,

just easier for me to remember. Hope someone else can use it:

1) multiply the calories by 2

2) double the fiber grams (max of 4) and subtract from the fat grams - take

this number and multiply by 10

3) add the numbers from step 1 and step 2 (or subtract if you ended up with

a negative value in step 2)

4) move the decimal over 2 positions to the left and round to a whole number

for instance:

Cal:150, Fat: 4 gm, fiber: 1 grams

1) 150X2=300

2) [4 - (1x2)]X10=20

3) 300+20=320

4) 320----->3.2 ----------> 3 points
